Very well presented. Ambience was lovely. Waiter was very attentive and polite. Food was good but portions were smaller than other restaurants. Be prepared to park and walk due to parking limitations of downtown Norfolk. Would recommend would return.

Went after graduation and the chicken Milanese and the gnocchi were good. I got the carbonara. It was very good, but too salty. But, as always, the place is fun and great with awesome service and a great drink/food menu.

Every time we visit the hosts are beyond welcoming, we decided to dine on their rooftop, and it was perfect. Our waitresses were friendly and paid an unbelievable amount attention to our table. The food was fantastic, we enjoyed their soup of the day (lobster bisque), the traditional bruschetta, and our entrees for the table were the seared duck, lasagna bolognese, the veal saltimbocca, and the pork chop. Everything was cooked to perfection, and arrived at our table hot. Off of the cocktail list we had the Italian mojito, “She’s a peach”, their homemade sangria, the limoncello martini, and the bourbon smash. The drinks were all amazing, but we all collectively found that the sangria and the Italian mojito were some of the best we’ve had. Of course we had to finish the meal with their fabulous cannolis. We can’t wait to return, by far one of our favorite restaurants in the Norfolk area.

Salmon piccata was phenomenal. The meatballs were very good, but not the level of the salmon. Drink selection is good and the layout is great. Downstairs area is dimmer and cool while the upstairs is a bit more of a private, brighter, and smaller space. The upstairs deck is really cool along with the outdoor space on the ground. Very cool place. On the more expensive side, but on par with the type of restaurant experience you’re going there for. Great experience
